Suzuki clinches Endurance title!
17 settembre 2007 
Defending Champions Suzuki Endurance Racing Team - Vincent Philippe, Matthieu Lagrive and Julien da Costa - recovered from a crash five hours into the penultimate and fifth round, which put them down in 40th position, to fight back into second place behind race winners Yamaha GMT 94 as the GSX-R1000 riders' closest championship rivals Kawasaki France retired during the night. SERT's second team of William Costes, Guillame Dietrich, Max Neukirchner and Stephane Duterne - winners of the opening round at Le Mans in April - raced to third position after recovering from a crash during the final quarter of the race. The World Champions led from the start from SERT 2 until just before the five-hour mark when da Costa crashed. SERT 2 led throughout the night and battled with Yamaha GMT 94 on the same lap and just 2.4 seconds adrift. The Yamaha team took the lead when Suzuki pitted and then crashed shortly afterwards. By this time the GSX-R1000 of Philippe, Lagrive and da Costa was back into a championship-winning position of second, where they remained until the flag at 1500 hrs local time. Provisional Results: 1 Yamaha GMT 94 (Yamaha) 801 laps, 2 SERT 1 (Suzuki GSX-R1000) 794, 3 SERT 2 (Suzuki GSX-R1000) 791, 4 Phase One Endurance (Yamaha) 789, 5 Acropolis Moto Expert (Yamaha) 782, 6 National Motos (Honda) 779, 7 Endurance Moto 38 Yamaha (Yamaha) 772, 8 Junior Team Suzuki LMS (Suzuki GSX-R1000) 771, 9 Igol Team 18 Sapeurs Pompiers (Suzuki GSX-R1000) 769, 10 Igol AM Moto Racing Competition (Suzuki GSX-R1000) 768.
